SLA UGHTER:
Railroad horrors and slauRhters ap-
pear to have reached a climax last
week in the appalling disaster near
Chatsw"rth, Illinois. on the Toledo,
Peoria & Western railroad. A thous.
and people are on one train going on
an excursion to Niagara Falls. They
are fleeing from the heat and monoto-
ny Of business and domestic cares and
are full Of life and anticipation. Sud
denly the train goes through a bridge.
For days the newspapers are filled
with sickening details of the awful
slaughter. From 80 to 90 persons are
killed and over 100 wounded.
What will be done to prevent future
sla"ghters? Probably nothing. Dis
patches sly that the loss will be q
million dollars ard that it will bank
rupt the company. We hope it may
and that every road having snch an NC
cident, or rather wholesale murder,
may be bankruptrd.
How can they prevent such slangh.
tiers? BY simply latr"ling the roads.
Even the old st Panl T. Sioux City.
running through a frontier country,
used to send hand car over every sec.
tion to look for broken rails, ETC., he-
fore each night passenger train passed.
rhis should be required of every road I.
In England every mile of every lead
ing railroad is patroled.
There seems TO be a difference 1T
opinion as to whether tramps fred the
bridge or whether the neglect of sec
tion men in not putting out the burn-
ing grass in the vicinity, was the Cause
OF the bridge taking fire. In either
case a proper patrol would have dis
covered it in time to prevent the
wholesale murder.

The Cowles (Neb.) Herald, published
by former Worthingtonian, Geo. NJ.
Plumb, gives an account of a recent
''chivari" at that place and says
"Shame on a chivari." Correct. The
chiv"ri or ''belling" belongs to a saw
age age. We have known of sew
eral cases where parties engaged in a
chivari we're shot down by the ''bride-
groom" and the courts afterwards sus-
tained the shooting. Perhaps this is
the way to end them.

SOUL COMMUNION.
A subscriber writes US:

"A 0uOoSAlOOA 10.
In the ADVANCE of July 2Sth you
place the time OF the Whole Worlds
Soul Communion Aug. 30th at II M,
Salem. Oregon, time and say that
wOnld Ike the same rs 3:i9 Greenwich
time. Isn't this wrong, AS Greenwich
time would be later than Salem
time? My understanding is that it is
to be held at II m. Greenwich time
which corresponds to 3:49 u. m. Salem
time or 7:O4 u. m. New York time"
We have had several letters during
the past few days inquiring as to the
time of the Whole Worlds Soul Com
munion. We gave the time as given
iu the Worlds Advance. Thought, and
it may be we'll to he more explicit, for
there are no doubt a number within
reach Of our paper who desire to join
in this remarkable communion.
Below is table of solar time ut
London and at some American centres:
Thus when it is II IN. at Washing
ton it is
sos p. m. at London, Eng.
1912 =. m. ut New York.
1l:l7 u. m. at Chicago.
1886 a. m. at st. Paul.
1O:44 a. m. at Omaha.
8:5S a. m. at San Francisco.
$3.50 at Salem. Oregon.
Suppose we start at Salem, Oregon,
at IL m., and move eastward to Green
wich, Eng. The difference in time
between these two points Is about 8
hours and II minutes. When it is IL
M. at Salem it is 1:4S.p. m. at Omaha.
Pei p. M. at Chicago, 3:l6 p. m. at
New York and 8:12 p. m. at London.
Figuring the other way, when it is
II m. at London it is hours and 8
minutes earlier at Washington or GAS
\. m., and 8 hours and II minutes earl
ier at Salem, or 3:48 q. M.
We judge therefore that our friend
IL right and that the Advance Thought
made mistake.
Persons therefore who live in about
tho longitude OF Omaha, Sioux City,
Worthington, etc., should allow about
6 hours and "a minutes difference ard
sit from $50 a. 10. to 6 a. m. on the
morning Of August 80.
Since the above article was written
the Worlds Advance-Thought for
August has come to hand, giving
table for principal points throughout
the world, and correcting former
errors.
The time set is Saturday, August 80,
at IL m. solar time at Salem, Oregon,
which corresponds to 1888 p. m. at
Omaha, l: :5S p. m. at St. Paul, 2:2O r.
m. at Chicago, 1:48 p. m. at Sioux
Falls, 3:l5 p. m. ut New York.
The paper also names the eth of
each month hereafter, at the same
hour, for regular soul communions
throughout the world.
The responses sent In from different
points concerning the communiOns al
ready held are most remarkable. The
thought is electrifying that it is posi-
bic to come into communion with hu-
manitarians and spiritually-minded
persons throughout the world and act.
ually feel the currents Of love and as
piring thought, a. many claim to have
done. Some report that the most pro.
found peace and love filled their hearts.

A CASE OF DEAFNESS CURED.
Office of Shaw & Baldwin's Wholesale
Notion House, Toledo, o., Dec. II,
1879.
F. J: Cheney 4 Co.. Toledo, Ohio
noticing q letter addressed to you iu
the Bee from Gen. Slevin, in reference
to the cure of his son by the use of
Halls Catarrh Cure, We were induced
to commence the use OF it for our
daughter. Nellie, now fourteen years
old. who has been suffering from ca
tarrh for about eight years, during
which time she has been treated by one
of the best physicians in this city. We
have also tried the use of almost all
the known remedies for catarrh, with
no more success than temporary relief.
Many nights have we laid awake to
hold her mouth open to keep her from
strangling. Her hearing had also be-
come affected. We were afraid that
she never would recover. We have
now used six bottles Of Halls Catarrh
Cure and we believe Nellie to be en-
tirely cured. In few days after com.
mencing the use of it we noticed de-
cided change for the better, and from
that right along she has improved, un-
til now she breathes rs easily rs any
one. She sleeps we'll and her hearing is
perfectly good. We feel that the disease
is entirely removed. We write this
unsolicited letter. feeling that it is due
you, and with the hope that others
may he benefited in like manner. We
can hardly realize that such change
could be effected in 40 short time
after battling with the disease 40 long.
We are still using the remedy at inter
walls. as it seems to bnild up her sys.
tenn. You are at liberty to nse this il
any manner you see proper. We are
yours, truly,
